Abstract:

BIM(Building Information Modelling) is becoming a new trend and keep adding new technologies, process and people to building industry. With the aim of expanding more benefits and Model Uses of BIM to the downstream areas and disciplines, this thesis proposes a theoretical framework and an interactive connection system between BIM and facility data for multiple end-user functionalities. Facility managers, building residents and civil engineering students are the target end users in this thesis, they are integrated into a centralized data repository via multiple corresponded user interfaces and connection systems. A data synchronization program, linking BIM model and data repository, is developed and other technologies and tools such as VisuaLynk, Augmented Reality and social media are adopted to facilitate the system process
